Letters

Back in 83 KISS played my hometown (Madrid, Spain) for the very first time. A friend of a friend´s father worked for the record company so I got a backstage pass HOURS before the show. But my parents did NOT let me go! (I was 13), even though I was going with an adult and the venue was only a 10-minute drive away. Back in the day I did not know what "Backstage" meant... which actually was better, because if I had it would have been even more painful! At least I got to keep the ticket (which was actually an sticker). Quite ironic that Gene is portrayed with make up even toguh it was the "Lick it up" tour. Many many years later I got to personally tell Gene this story at his Vault Experience ps: I had to wait until December 87 to see KISS live for the first time, in Toledo (Ohio) while being an exchange student.
